Anti-ghosting in the machine

Razer has also equipped this notebook with an anti-ghosting keyboard featuring Chroma lighting effects (customizable to the tune of 16.8 million colors), a 2-megapixel webcam, stereo speakers and Dolby Digital Plus Home Theater Edition sound.

Oh, and the weight has been trimmed a fraction to 1.86kg (from 1.88kg), although that’s for the Full HD model – with a 4K screen, the portable is marginally heftier at 1.95kg. The notebook remains 17.9mm in terms of thickness.

The new Blade is now available on Razerzone.com (for the US and UK, as well as Canada, France and Germany), with prices starting at $1,899 (around AU$2,475) or £1,799 in the UK – it’ll roll out worldwide in March.

However, the 4K screen-toting model won’t emerge until the second quarter; in other words, the earliest we’ll see that is April.
